Did you enter the SEP IRA through the self-employment option?  When I run a test I am not receiving a limit to $6,500.  Follow these steps to check the entry of your self-employed SEP IRA:

 

  1. Click Wage and Income
  2. Scroll down to Other Business Situations, Click Show More
  3. Click Start/Revisit next to Self-Employment Retirement Plans
  4. Answer no for "Did you contribute to an Individual or Roth 401(k) plan?
  5. Click Yes for the next screen.  
  6. Enter the amount you contributed or will contribute for your SEP Plan and click Maximize.

If you are still seeing a limitation please respond back to this thread.
